Guys i know this is an off topic but could you please tell me how long does the phone take to charge from 0 to 100? (Mine is taking around 3 hours or at times more).

And does it get drained real fast?

In stanby after 7 hours my battery became 70 percent from 100 without touching it....

Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

Yes badboy....

Iam also facing the same issue.

I was using Micromax A110 before this phone. . It was excellent phone.

It charges too late (from 0 to 100) approx 4 hours to charge. . But it won't drained much. We can use around 2 days with moderate usage.

When it comes to grand ...

1). It charge a bit quick (0 to 100) around 3 hours.

2). It drains so quick.. even in standby aswell.

How did you swap internal to external Balli.?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] badboyofpersia:
Thanks for the reply. I thought only i am facing this issue. The battery is soooo bad. 3 to 3.5 hours to charge and drains in like 12 hours usage or lesser too. And worse in standby (30% drained in 7 hours without using it?!! So bad on a single sim, cant imagine what would it be with dual sim):(

I use my tab2 charger which is 2amp while our grand charger is 1 amp . Mine phone charged from 0 to 100 in just 30 to 40 minutes :p:thumbup:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] akshay0078:
Its a big battery so i guess 3 hours is ok with it..but i dont face the battery drain...my battery survives easily throughout the day even about 20-25% is remaining after a single day..however if you game hard..then battery shall end up by 18-20 hours..and thats usual..because it depends on your usage..if your at times gamer and app or whatsapp user..battery will survive throught out the day..

I got the solution if you face such issue..when you dont use the phone for a long..make sure to be on "POWER SAVER MODE" it certainly plays a big role...my power saver mode is on even when i am chatting or just browsing facebook or anyother mobile version websites..

I also use SETCPU..it works and does great job for battery saving..you can adjust your CPU power to 800MHZ or 1GHZ..as per your use..apps like whatsapp or many other dont need more than 800MHZ of actual power to run..so you can set and adjust as per your needs..its easy to handle too..

You can get one from playstore (BUY) or you can get it from google search for the file SETCPU..it works great...

These are my personal recommendations and i use it too..so just give it a try and see yourselves for couple of days..:)

Hope this helps...

Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

Also, I usually keep the display brightness to about 20% when indoors or at night

When outdoors in sunlight, I find the ' Auto' setting best.

When staying long time away from a Wi-Fi network, just switch off Wi-Fi. (Remember to switch on when in Wi-Fi range, though)

Dont keep the backlight sensor on auto unless you are outdoors..for me in daylight about 50-60% of light is still bright..whereas in dark that is night..if you simply browsing through or chatting...keep it to about 15-20%..gaming 35-40%..remember dont game on powersaver mode..the game wil lag..thanks to jellybean all this things are just one touch away so we dont need to go in settings all the time..

if you have rooted your device use SETCPU as mentioned above..it saves a lot..

Enable auto-adjust-screentone in display settings..this saves a bit...Dont keep your sensors on such as smartstay etc. when its of no use for you..sensors like such consumes battery too..I at times on smartstay only when i am reading something over the internet..smartstay is useful only in daylight..as the secondary front camera wont be able to detect your face in dark..:P rather you might end up wasting battery life..

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

That is correct.

Rooting modifies original files (that's why the phone gets rooted).

You will not get OTA updates, but you can update via kies, or manually via Odin.

Recovery does not have anything to do with firmware, however new firmware can rewrite recovery..So u have to flash CWM again.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

For those who are complaining about battery:-

I would request to google and find out how to save your battery. All android phones are in same page. So nothing new here..

There are trick to save battery..Use SetCPU if you are rooted and change CPU settings..But b careful. Do not play anything if you do not know what you are doing..

For those who are rooting and trying to remove bloatware:-

Before removing any application, use MOBOROBO (Google it is a free mobile management apps and damn good) to take backup. You better export /system/app /system/data and what so ever you want to your local desktop.

This way you will have a copy of the file and any issue you can copy it back to mobile.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] thisnthatman:
AFAIK - The fact that these phones are factory unlocked to all networks worldwide (They have to be as they're dual sim) means it shouldn't matter what firmware we install, It should be ok to update firmware from any region.

EDIT:

I installed the New Firmware out on Sammobile, Thailand I9082XXAMC1_I9082OLBAMC1_THL.zip (March 2013)

Then I installed the CWM recovery from the first page of this thread, It installed fine. I checked if I had Root access but it said I didn't even thought CWM recovery was installed.

I booted into CWM recovery and installed SuperSU.zip from external SD-Card and it installed perfectly. I Checked Root access again and BINGO. I have root and everything working fine with new firmware.

Still too early to report on any differences from previous versions but I'll keep you posted. Its also 4.1.2

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
Re: [GUIDE/ROOT/CWM-TOUCH] Samsung galaxy grand Duos GT-i9082

binary count its a record of how many times your phone has been flashed with a custom Rom/kernel.

To root the phone you flashed CWM via Odin. So your binary count should at least be 1.

This will void your warranty if they check it.

To check it, switch off phone, then keep vol-down, home and power button pressed simultaneously, till you see galaxy grand logo.

You will see a warning about flashing a custom Rom.

Press the vol-up button.

The phone will enter Odin mode.

There you can see your binary counter, which should show at least 1 if you had rooted.

If you have flashed official Rom, the status will display ' Official ' else it will show ' Custom'.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] KSKHH:
Here is revise procedure to install CWM recovery who are facing issues, even applied to me...lol

Remove your back cover so that you can remove battery easily after ODIN flash

Copy attached file in SDCard with the Root file available in OP

Follow the process mentioned at OP...

Now:-

Untick or do not tick Auto Reboot in Odin..Follow rest process as per OP...

Now exit ODIN...Remove mobile battery..

Put back the battery...Press Volume Up + Power + Menu...This will take you to CWM recovery.

Now:-

Flash the file I have attached here (it will delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/etc/install-recovery.sh)

Then flash the ROOT file available in OP..

I have done this successfully and hopefully my CWM should stay back now.

None of the patches made by me...So I donot have any credit rather finding the way to work CWM. Credit goes to original creator..

Just HIT thanks if this helps.

You are doing this on your own..So do not blame me for any harm...:laugh:
